SUNDAY PRAYER, ccx
time & time again
there is no pleasing us, the spirit bead,
the knot in Adam's family tree
was Eve, or so they want us
to believe, or not to believe
that even now our bloom is aging
fading through the hourglass
of nothing lasting,
nothing lasts.
time & time again,
it's true that coffee stains the teeth
and that the world can stain the human soul
small leaks sink the biggest boats
the trees explode with life
see the sight of them exciting,
look, the baby quail, the dancing moth
to capture them in writing
i am, i am
but you are birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am, i am
